Glycolic acid, which is a monoprotic acid and a constituent in sugar cane, has a pKa of 3.9. A 25.0 mL solution of glycolic acid

is titrated to the equivalence point with 45.4 mL of 0.020 M sodium hydroxide solution. What is the pH of the resulting solution at the equivalence point

Answer:

pH of resulting solution = 7.98

Explanation:

The balanced equation  

HA + NaOH - Na+ + A- + H2O

Number of moles of A = Number of moles of HA  = Number of moles of NaOH

= 35.8/1000 * 0.020 = 0.000716 mol

Initial concentration of A = 0.000716/0.0608 = 0.01178 M

pKb = 14 – pKa = 14 -3.9 = 10.1

Kb = 10^{-Kb} = 10^{-10.1} = 7.943 * 10^-11

Kb = [HA][OH-]/[A-]

Kb = a^2/(0.01178 -a) = 7.943 * 10^-11

a^2 + 7.943 * 10^-11 a – 9.357 * 10^-13 = 0

a = 9.673 * 10^-7

OH- = a = 9.673 * 10^-7 M

pOH = -log [OH-] = -log (9.673 * 10^-7) = 6.02

pH = 14-6.02 = 7.98

Answer:

All elements are neutral

Explanation:

The plum pudding model of the atom indicated that all elements are neutral. The model was proposed by J.J Thomson after he conducted his experiment on the gas discharge tube.

From the experiment he discovered electrons which he called cathode rays.

Therefore, he suggested the plum pudding model of the atom.

The model describes negatively charge sphere surrounded by positive charges to balance them.

What pattern appears in the horizontal arrangement (rows) of the elements in the Periodic Table, moving from left to right?
Liula [17]
The horizontal rows in the periodic table are periods, while the vertical rows are called groups. The elements moving from left to right in "periods" have increasing atomic numbers.

A scientist is studying a shock wave from an earthquake. What kind of wave is being studying?
Naily [24]

Answer:

A scientist is studying a shock wave from an earthquake, he is studying mechanical wave.

Explanation:

The shock waves are experienced during earthquake. At the area of increased pressure shock wave are created as the object in that places moves faster as compared to the speed of sound. Shock wave are type of mechanical wave. For its transfer it requires a medium. An electromagnetic wave can travel of its own without any medium, under electromagnetic wave gamma ray and radio wave comes. they are transverse wave.
